James has written a number of reviews popular on the watch forums as well as a short series of articles for nerdist.com.

Tom Caruso, Contributor

Since he was a kid, Tom has always been fascinated with clocks and watches. Perhaps it’s part of of his inherent nature to quantify things or simply because he thinks watches with sweeping seconds hands just look cooler than ones that go tick-tick-tick.  As an adult, that interest has developed into a passion.  To him watches are like peanuts, he can’t have just one.  In a pursuit to pick out his first watch, he began to do “research” that’s left him with a drawer full of watches and an insatiable itch to get more. He talks about his findings and rambles on about other things on his blog Gizmosseur.com.

When I was a kid, we use to have an empty storefront for rent (Philippines). A family came to rent it and set-up a tailoring shop. Their children eventually became my friends and since we couldn’t really afford “real” levis at a young age…we bought jean fabrics and all the surplus buttons, tags and levis zippers and made our own “custom” cut jeans. The best part was, we were always being asked where we bought them!  Since that time, i’ve always been fascinated by fashion and especially the production behind it. Being a graphic designer now… when i look back, i think that’s what influenced me to “make” something out of nothing.
